id tracking, throw IllegalStateException because there is no way the client

+DistributableManager: Work has begun on support for distributable applications
+in Tomcat 4.0.
+
+JNDI Naming Support: You can now bind threads, as well as class loaders, to
+specific directory contexts. This is required for automatic reloading on
+modified classes to work using the new JNDI access to static resources.
+
+HttpConnector: It is now possible to disable lookups of the remote host name
+when the web app calls request.getRemoteHost(). Lookups are enabled by default
+but you might wish to disable them to improve performance, by setting the
+"disableLookups" attribute of the <Connector> element to "true".
+
+SSL Required Redirect: If a request is being processed on a non-SSL
+connection, and is subject to a security constraint that includes a transport
+guarantee requiring SSL, the request will be automatically redirected to the
+port number configured by the "redirectPort" of the non-SSL <Connector>. As
+long as an SSL connector is configured within the same <Service> element (and
+thus talks to the same set of web apps), sessions will be maintained across
+this redirect as well.

servlet in question unavailable. It was making the entire web app
unavailable.
+ApplicationHttpRequest: Allow an "include"d servlet to set and remove request
+attributes, with those changes being visible to the calling servlet.
+HttpRequestBase: HttpServletRequest.getCookies() is supposed to return null
+if no cookies were included on this request. We were returning a zero length
+array.
+
+ApplicationDispatcher: Correctly handle a <servlet> definition utilizing a
+<jsp-file> element when that servlet is the subject of a request dispatcher
+forward or include.
+
+StandardClassLoader: Correctly register repositories based on non-file
+protocols (which broke class reloading).
+
+ContainerBase, Standard{Engine,Host,Context}: Make it possible to dynamically
+select the Mapper implementation class used to map a request to a child
+container. This makes it possible to experiment with new implementations
+without impacting overall stability.
+
+FastEngineMapper: Initial implementation of an Engine->Host Mapper that runs
+much faster than the current StandardEngineMapper. It is not yet the default,
+but will become the default after more testing.
+
+NonLoginAuthenticator: If the only security constraint defined for a web app
+imposes only limits not related to authentication (such as only a <transport-
+guarantee>), install a special Authenticator that does not challenge the user
+for authentication. In this way, the remaining constraints are still
+enforced, rather than being ignored.
+
+StandardWrapper: The context class loader is set during calls to init() and
+destroy(), so that webapp-local classes can be referenced in these methods.
+
+ApplicationFilterChain: Correct exception handling behavior when a Filter or
+Servlet throws a RuntimeException. Previously, this exception was wrapped in
+a ServletException before being passed to an error page. Now, the
+RuntimeException itself is passed.
+
+AuthenticatorBase: Update access control logic to correctly process
+authentication constraints with a "*" <role-name> element, which means that
+all roles are allowed.
